GFC™ 600 Digital Autopilot

Maximize Performance and Capability
Drawing on our top-end Garmin GFC 700 flight control technology, GFC 600 provides crisp, precise response and optimum performance over the entire airspeed envelope of your aircraft. Rather than depending on failure-prone mechanical gyros, the GFC 600 system is digitally controlled, using solid-state attitude and air data sensor reference — giving you ultra-smooth roundouts, intercepts and more while also enhancing system reliability. Offering a flexible upgrade solution, GFC 600 can be interfaced with a variety of Garmin and third-party instrumentation and navigation sources. The design of the GFC 600 includes environmentally hardened servos, allowing for installation in a wide range of airframes, including harsh operating conditions. The robust hardware used in the GFC 600 autopilot’s scalable architecture lets you tailor your system’s configuration to support the level of capability you want. Every component has been engineered to work seamlessly together to ensure optimum smoothness and comfort in flight — while helping to reduce pilot workload in the cockpit.

Control from Your Avionics Stack
For selection and control of GFC 600 modes and functions, a compact autopilot controller comes standard with the system. Featuring backlit keys and a bright, sunlight-readable annunciator display, the mark-width controller mounts conveniently in your avionics stack. An intuitive up/down control wheel on the unit allows for easy and precise adjustment of aircraft pitch, airspeed and vertical speed modes. And for installations where the autopilot controller is out of the pilot’s primary field of view and a G600/G500 flight display is not installed for mode annunciation,
